The study of leadership in health information management (HIM), including how leaders within HIM develop, how they conduct their workday, how they manage and lead, and how they see themselves as leaders, is needed. This research project is a descriptive study that examines leadership in HIM.
The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology, part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is responsible for heading up this initiative. They have selected organizations to certify electronic health records from medical vendors. These organizations have been titled âONC-Authorized Testing and Certification Bodies,â or ONC-ATCBs. To see a list of certified products, visit our ONC-ATCB EHR buyerâs guide. We also have a list of CCHIT-certified EMRs.
